## Summary - **ADS-B & AIS:** OpenSky and AISStream OSINT feeds upsert into the CoT store; tactical tracks still arrive via adsbcot/aiscot on `:8089`. Map clients subscribe via `GET /api/cot/stream` (SSE) with viewport bbox filtering and Air / Surface / Team layer toggles. - **ALPR (Flock/OSM):** Toggleable license-plate reader layer sourced from OpenStreetMap, with SQLite cache, Overpass fallback, tiled viewport fetching, and clustered markers with direction cones. - **Map performance:** Ring-based tile selection (fixes zoom-out crash), immutable tile cache, incremental marker sync, split cluster load/query, and padded SSE bbox to reduce reconnect churn. ## Docs - `docs/tracking.md` — ADS-B/AIS accuracy tiers, freshness, self-hosted receivers, optional OSINT API keys - `docs/map-and-cameras.md` — ALPR layer and map behavior updates --------- Co-authored-by: Madison Grubb <madison@elastiflow.com> Reviewed-on: #36

ADS-B and AIS
Aircraft and vessels use the same CoT store as ATAK/iTAK. The map consumes GET /api/cot/stream (SSE, viewport bbox). Toggle Air, Surface, and Team on the map.
Accuracy tiers
- Tactical (best): local SDR/AIS receiver → adsbcot / aiscot → KestrelOS CoT
:8089(sub-second updates). - Vessels (live OSINT): AISStream WebSocket push as vessels transmit.
- Aircraft (awareness OSINT): OpenSky bbox poll — not a live stream; typical lag ~5s.
For tactical use, run local receivers. Do not rely on OpenSky alone.
Freshness
Tracks update via SSE update events (CoT :8089, AISStream) or coalesced snapshot after each OpenSky poll. Stale tracks are removed automatically (team ~90s, OSINT ~30s without a new fix).
OSINT feeds run only while a map client is connected (SSE subscriber). Keep the map tab visible for live updates.
Self-hosted
ADS-B: adsbcot → tls://host:8089
[adsbcot]
COT_URL = tls://kestrelos.example.com:8089
FEED_URL = tcp+beast://127.0.0.1:30005
AIS: aiscot → tls://host:8089
[aiscot]
COT_URL = tls://kestrelos.example.com:8089
FEED_URL = tcp://127.0.0.1:10110
Use KestrelOS credentials (see atak-itak.md).
OSINT APIs (optional)
Set these only if you want viewport OSINT without local receivers:
| Variable | Purpose |
|---|---|
AISSTREAM_API_KEY |
AISStream WebSocket |
OPENSKY_CLIENT_ID / OPENSKY_CLIENT_SECRET |
OpenSky OAuth (recommended for production) |
UIDs: ICAO.* (ADS-B), MMSI.* (AIS). Icons follow CoT type (a-f-A-*, a-f-S-*, a-f-G-*).
